A beautiful story - God's Wings

God’s Wings -

A little something to put things in perspective…

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangersbegan their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perchedstatuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhatsickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from undertheir dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware ofimpending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of thetree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing

that the toxic smoke would rise.

She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon herbabies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched hersmall body, the mother had remained steadfast ..because she hadbeen willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.

‘He will cover you with His feathers,And under His wings you will find refuge.’(Psalm 91:4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it.
